To all who come to this place of dreams... Welcome!

Disney California Adventure celebrates the
spirit of optimism and the promise of endless
opportunities, ignited by the imaginations of
daring dreamers such as Walt Disney and those
like him who forever changed - and were forever
changed by - the Golden State. This unique place
embraces the richness and diversity of California...
its land, its people, its stories and, above all,
the dreamers it continues to inspire.

OVERVIEW

Upon entering Disney California Adventure guests find
themselves on Buena Vista Street,
a busy street
reminiscent of Los Angeles as it might have been when a young
Walt Disney first arrived in the 1920s. At the end of the
street is the iconic Carthay Circle Restaurant,
modeled after the Carthay Circle Theater where Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs premiered in 1937. At Fiddler, Fifer, and
Practical Cafe guests can enjoy baked goods and sandwiches
along with their favorite Starbucks beverages.

Though not the classic spoke design, pathways from Carthay
Circle lead to the other areas of the park:

Hollywood Land - A
pair of decoratve archways stand on either side of of the
street at the entrance to this
Hollywood-themed area. The names of shops and restaurants are
clever plays on words, like "Award Weiners" and "Schmoozies".
The Disney Jr. Theater is located here, as is the Hyperion
Theater, where the musical spectactular Disney's Aladdin is presented
on stage. Next to the Hyperion the Hollywood Tower Hotel
invites guest to "drop in" for a vist to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. On
the lighter side take a tour of Monstropolis in Monsters Inc., Mike and Sulley to
the Rescue.
The Animation Building
houses several different activities - chat with a turtle,
learn to draw a Disney character, or play in the Sorceror's
Workshop. Younger guests will enjoy seeing their favorite TV
characters come to life in the
Disney Junior - Live on Stage! show.

Cars Land
Inspired by the Disney*Pixar film "Cars", Cars Land
brings the animated world of Radiator Springs to life. Guests
will find themselves walking down Route 66 past familiar places
like Mater's Junkyard, Sally's Cozy Cone Motel,
Flo's V8 Cafe and Ramone's House of Body Art.
In town are two attractions, Mater's Junkyard Jamboree,
where baby tractors pull guests in trailers as they whirl
and dance to Mater's jukebox.
Behind town is Cars Land's E-ticket attraction,
Radiator Springs Racers, where cars race side-by-side
though the spectacular Ornament Valley.
Hungry guests can fill their tanks at Fillmore's Taste-in,
Sally's Cozy Cones
and Flo's V8 Cafe.

In the Grizzly Peak Recreation
Area take a whitewater raft ride on Grizzly River Run. You WILL get
wet! Kids will enjoy testing their climbing, tracking,
swinging and other skills at the Redwood Creek
Challenge Trail, where they can become Wilderness Explorer
Scouts and meet "UP" stars Russell and Dug.

"a bug's land" includes
attractions based on characters from the movie A Bug's Life.
The bugs take center stage in the 3D movie It's Tough to be a
Bug.
Flik's Fun Fair
is designed for younger guests and hosts kid-friendly attractions
like Heimlich's Chew Chew
Train, Tuck'n'Roll's Drive 'em Buggies, Francis' Ladybug
Boogie, Flik's Flyers, and Princess Dot Puddle Park. Flik
and Atta make character appearances in the area.
